It's a Bethesda game through and through. You probably know that already if you've checked out the reviews, but if you liked Skyrim or FO4, and you can stomach the loadscreens, you know what you're getting. Personally, I hoped for more but even what's delivered has been worth it for me. The main story drags a bit in the collection of the artifacts, but seems to be picking up. Outside of that, there's plenty of entertaining distractions.
I've been playing only RPGs the past few months with BG3 and Starfield, so I'm not in a rush to play Phantom Liberty right away. Looking forward to trying the free 2.0 patch today and will probably do a vanilla playthrough before I think about getting the expansion.
Either way, looking forward to PC coverage coming out.
Doesn't look like there will be any QOL updates - curious what, if any, could have been done? I remember trying to play the demo as a kid, and had a tough time with the arrow keys mimicing movement made for analog.
Specific to Germany, but when a second cashier opens up, it's a first come first serve rush for it, rather than letting the person next inline at the original cashier take the first spot in the new one.
It's better than I thought it would be but not a great primary experience. In space and exploring planets you can enjoy 30+ FPS, but in the main cities, your framerate will be in the 20s. I haven't encountered combat there so it's less of an issue, but still not great
Same. Loving my time with it. It's great that they've captured the things I loved about their old games (no surprise) but too bad they can't alleviate the immersion breaking issues of their old games (again no surprise).
I have it on PC, and performance is really hit or miss on Steamdeck, so I mostly play on my PC. There are some modded quality presets that help, but in the big cities framerate really dips.
If your options are Xbox or Steamdeck, id go for xbox
Probably once they get the initial sales from Steam and Epic.
